User talk:Geoffmark

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, !

I hope you like it here and stick around. If you like, you can leave a note at New user log to introduce yourself.

Before you start doing a lot of editing, you might want to take the Tutorial. It gives lots of basic information to help you to get oriented on Wikipedia.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using four tildes (" ~ ") for your username and a timestamp. If you have any other questions about the project, then check out Help or add a question to the Help desk. Alternately, you may choose to send a message to my talk page.

Happy editing! Yuser31415 22:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 03:32, 17 December 2006 (UTC)


 * There! Are you interested in any of those articles? Yuser31415 (Review me!) 07:32, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia Loves Art
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia Loves Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there!  howcheng  {chat} 23:54, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Gamebox-big.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Gamebox-big.jpg, which you've sourced to The box for the PC game, Gunmetal.. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

Hello RonHJones,

You removed an image from the Gunmetal_(PC) page, of the box cover. I appreciate your concern about copyright, but I don't know how to fix this particular issue.

I created that game. Until it went into receivership, I owned the company that sold it. I personally signed off on the box design (and construction, manufacturing, distribution, etc.) I uploaded that image, offering it into the public domain. I did put my name into that article, along with the names of my partners, but per WikiPedia rules, did not write my own WikiPedia page.

Unfortunately, I no longer have access to the e-mail server, or company letterhead. The company went bankrupt in 1999.

So, how would I make sure that image stays on the page? Or is this a lost cause?

Thanks for your assistance. And I've forgotten everything I ever knew about WP formatting.

Proposed deletion of Mad Genius Software


The article Mad Genius Software has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Fails WP:CORPDEPTH. Produced one game of dubious-to-marginal notability itself.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 02:15, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
